On the basis of this analog, my forecast for the rest of Dec is that after a mild start, the second week will be colder, followed by an increasingly mild rest of the month, particularly in Scotland & N Ireland.😉

The midday run is faster with the low that zips down from the NW.
The UKMO has finally caught up with the others.
Shame these charts weren't for 06 UTC, if they had, the chance of snow on lower ground may have been higher.

As in previous runs, the ECMWF are forecasting that pressure will build in from the NW by Thu, introducing a much colder, wintry spell of weather across Scotland from the 13th-21st.
A milder, zonal type returns after that.

A consistent signal from the ECMWF over the last few days of a cold wave, which will start on Thu in N Scotland, will gradually push S by next weekend.

Quite a number of stations with 20 consecutive 'rain days' (>=0.2 mm) at the moment.
We're on 19 (now 20) here in Strathpeffer, and although it's not been overly wet, it's never been completely dry either.
